Patent number: 11072489Abstract: A beverage-ingredient cartridge for storing and dispensing beverage ingredients. The cartridge includes a container for storing a first beverage ingredient, and a cap secured within an open upper end of the container that seals the open upper end. The cap includes a storage compartment for storing a second beverage ingredient having a base and a sidewall extending from a the base. A line of weakness defines a separable region of the base, and a column extends from the separable region of the base and is spaced apart from the sidewall. A plastic film is secured to the sidewall and to the column that seals the storage compartment. Upon application of a force to the column, the separable region separates from the base and the plastic film tears such that the storage compartment and container are open to the outside of the beverage-ingredient cartridge.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2019Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: PepsiCo, Inc.Inventors: Advait Bhat, Girish Nilkanth Deshpande, Maximiliano Rodriguez, Benjamin Joseph Tantanella, Bruno Telesca, Nathan Daniel Grubbs, Ryan Alan Klenke

Publication number: 20200207535Abstract: A beverage ingredient cartridge for releasing beverage ingredients into a bottle to create a mixed beverage includes a body defining a liquid-ingredient chamber, a cap defining a solid-ingredient chamber, and an opening mechanism disposed on the cap. Upon a force applied to the beverage ingredient cartridge, a piercer of the bottle drives through the dispensing end of the cartridge, causing teeth of the opening mechanism to tear through films sealing the liquid-ingredient chamber and solid-ingredient chamber. This mixes contents of the liquid-ingredient chamber with contents of the solid-ingredient chamber and releases the mixed contents from the beverage ingredient cartridge into a bottle below that is filled with a liquid, creating a mixed beverage.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2018Publication date: July 2, 2020Inventors: Advait BHAT, Girish Nilkanth DESHPANDE, Maximiliano RODRIGUEZ, Benjamin Joseph TANTANELLA, Bruno TELESCA, Alexander David WARNING, Lei ZHAO, Nathan Daniel GRUBBS, Ryan Alan KLENKE
